Handling Precautions
Camera Care
This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical
shock.
The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you
accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult your nearest
Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the
camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a well-wrung wet cloth.
Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such
as a magnet or electric motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near
anything emitting strong radio waves such as a large antenna. Strong
magnetic fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.
Do not leave the camera in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight.
High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.
The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to
disassemble the camera yourself.
Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, and
focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contan organic solvents to clean
the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, takhe camera to the nearest
Canon Service Center.
Do not touch the camera’s electrconcts with your fingers. This is to
prevent the contacts from corrodrroded contacts can cause camera
misoperation.
If the camera is suddenly rougt in from the cold into a warm room,
condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent
condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to
the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.
If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid
damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, card and
battery from the camera, and wait until the condensation has evaporated
before using the camera.
If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery
and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the
camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to
check that the camera is still working.
Avoid storing the camera where there are corrosive chemicals such as a
darkroom or chemical lab.
If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions
before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is
an important shoot coming up, have the camera checked by your Canon
dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.

Handling Precautions
LCD Panel and LCD Monitor
Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there might be a few dead
pixels among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying
only black or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images
recorded.
If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur
where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only
temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.
In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow or it
might look black. It will return to normal at room temperature.
Cards
To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:
Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force,
physical shock, or vibration.
Do not store or use the card near anything having a strong magnetic field
such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Asavoid places prone to having
static electricity.
Do not leave the card in direct unligr near a heat source.
Store the card in a case.
Do not store the card in hot, dr humid locations.
Lens
After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the lens
caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid
scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.
Contacts
Cautions During Prolonged Use
If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or movie shooting for a
prolonged period, the camera may become hot. Although this is not a
malfunction, holding the hot camera for a long period can cause slight skin
burns.

It takes about 2.5 hours to fully recharge a completely exhausted
battery at 23°C / 73°F. The time required to recharge the battery
depends on the ambient temperature and battery’s charge level.
For safety reasons, recharging in low temperatures (5°C - 10°C /
41°F - 50°F) will take a longer time (up to 4 hours).

Charging the Battery
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used.
Even during non-use or storage, a charged battery will gradually
discharge and lose its power.
After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug the power
cord or prongs from the power outlet.
You can attach the cover in a different
orientation to indicate whether the battery
has been recharged or not.
If the battery has been recharged, attach the
cover so that the battery-shaped hole <
> is
aligned over the blue sticker on the battery. If the battery is
exhausted, attach the cover in the opposite orientation.
When not using the camera, rve te battery.
If the battery is left in the cafor a prolonged period, a small amount
of power current is reeasedting in excess discharge and shorter
battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover attached. Storing
the battery after it is fully charged can lower the battery’s performance.
The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.
The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz
power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available plug adapter for
the respective country or region. Do not attach any portable voltage
transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can damage the battery charger.
If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully
charged, the battery has worn out.
Check the battery’s recharge performance (p.230) and purchase a
new battery.
If the battery’s remaining capacity (p.230) is 94% or higher, the battery
will not be recharged.
After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the charger
power plug (prongs) for at least 3 sec.

the image data. It may also damage the card or camera.
• Opening the card slot cover.
• Removing the battery.
• Shaking or banging the camera around.
If the card already contains recorded images, the image number might
not start from 0001 (p.80).
If a card-related error message is displayed on the LCD monitor, remove
and reinstall the card. If the error persists, use a different card.
If you can transfer all the images in the card to a computer, transfer all
the images and then format the card (p.43). The card may then return to
normal.
When holding a hard disk-type card, always hold its sides. You may
damage the card by holding its flat surfaces. Compared to CF cards, hard
disk-type cards are more vulnerable to vibration and physical shock. If
you use such a card, be careful not to subject the camera to vibration or
physical shock especially while recording or displaying images.

About the Lens Image Stabilizer
When you use the IS lens’ built-in Image Stabilizer, camera shake is
corrected to obtain a less blurred shot. The procedure explained here is
based on the EF-S15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens as an example.
* IS stands for Image Stabilizer.
Set the IS switch to <1>.

X The Image Stabilizer will operate.
Take the picture.
When hpicture looks steady in the
3
vnderpress the shutter button
copletely to take the picture.
The Image Stabilizer is not effective for moving subjects.
The Image Stabilizer may not be effective for excessive shaking such as
on a rocking boat.
With the EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens, the Image Stabilizer will
not be very effective while you move the camera to take panned shots.
The Image Stabilizer can operate with the lens focus mode switch set to
either <AF> or <MF>.
If the camera is mounted on a tripod, you can save battery power by
switching the IS switch to <2>.
The Image Stabilizer can operate even when the camera is mounted on
a monopod.
Some IS lenses enable you to switch the IS mode manually to suit the
shooting conditions. However, the EF-S15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, EF-
S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS, and EF-S18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lenses switch
the IS mode automatically.

Figures for the file size, possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous
shooting are based on Canon’s testing standards (ISO 100 and Standard
Picture Style) using a 4GB card. These figures will vary depending on the
subject, card brand, ISO speed, Picture Style, Custom Functions, etc.
The maximum burst applies to high-speed continuous shooting. Figures in
parentheses apply to an Ultra DMA (UDMA) 4GB card based on Canon’s
testing standards.
If you select both RAW and JPEG, the same image will be recorded
simultaneously to the card in both types at the selected image-recording
quality. The two images will be saved in the same folder with the same
file numbers (file extension .JPG for JPEG and .CR2 for RAW).
The icons are read as follows: 1 (RAW), 41 (Medium RAW),
61 (Small RAW), JPEG, 7 (Fine), 8 (Normal), 3 (Large), 4
(Medium), and 6 (Small).

About RAW
A RAW image is the data output by the image sensor, converted to
digital data and recorded on the card as is. You can select from 1,
41, or 61 (Commonly referred as RAW in this manual).
With RAW images, you can use the provided software to make various
adjustments as desired and then generate a JPEG, TIFF, etc., image.
Commercially-available software might not be able to display RAW images.
Using the provided software is recommended.
Maximum Burst During Continuous Shooting
The maximum burst during continuous shooting indicated on the
preceding page is the number of continuous sots that can be taken
without stopping, based on a formatteB cad.
Tumer is displayed on the bottom
righe viewfinder. If the maximum
burst is 99 or higher, “99” will be
dsplayed.
The maximum burst is displayed even when a card is not inserted in the
camera. Make sure that a card is loaded before taking a picture.
If [8C.Fn II -2: High ISO speed noise reduction] is set to [2: Strong],
the maximum burst will be greatly reduced (p.208).
If the viewfinder displays “99” for the maximum burst, it means the maximum
burst is 99 or higher. If the maximum burst decreases to 98 or lower and the
internal buffer memory becomes full, “buSY” will be displayed in the
viewfinder and on the LCD panel and shooting will be disabled temporarily.
If you stop the continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase. After
all the captured images are written to the card, the maximum burst will be as
listed on page 59.

About White Balance
To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of lighting.
With a digital camera, the color temperature is adjusted with software to make
the white areas look white. This adjustment serves as the basis for the color
correction. The result is natural-looking colors in the pictures.
You can also use the [2 White balance] menu to set the white balance.

White Balance Auto Bracketing
With just one shot, three images having a different color tone can be recorded
simultaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current white balance
setting, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or magenta/green
bias. This is called white balance bracketing (WB-BKT). White balance
bracketing is possible up to ±3 levels in single-level increments.

About the Lens Correction Data
The camera already contains lens peripheral illumination correction
data for about 25 lenses. In step 2, if you select [Enable], the peripheral
light correction will be applied automatically for any lens whose
correction data has been registered in the camera.
With the EOS Utility (provided software), you can check which lenses
have their correction data registered in the camera. You can also
register the correction data for unregistered lenses. For details, see the
Software Instruction Manual (CD-ROM) for EOS Utility.
For JPEG images aready captured, lens peripheral illumination
correction cannot be applied.
Depending on shooting conditions, noise might appear on the image
periphery.
When using a third-party lens, setting the correction to [Disable] is
recommended, even if [Correction data available] is displayed.
Lens peripheral illumination correction is applied even when an Extender
is attached.
If the correction data for the attached lens has not been registered to the
camera, the result will be the same as when the correction is set to
[Disable].
The correction amount applied will be slightly lower than the maximum
correction amount settable with Digital Photo Professional (provided
software).
If the lens does not have distance information, the correction amount will
be lower.
The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be.

About Folders
As with “100EOS7D” for example, the folder name starts with three digits
(folder number) followed by five alphanumeric characters. A folder can contain
up to 9999 images (file No. 0001 - 9999). When a folder becomes full, a new
folder with a higher one-up folder number is created automatically. Also, if
manual reset (p.81) is executed, a new folder will be created automatically.
Folders numbered from 100 to 999 can be created.
Creating Folders with a Personal Computer
With the card open on the screen, create a new folder named “DCIM”. Open
the DCIM folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and
organize your images. The folder name must follow the “100ABC_D” format
where the first three digits is 100 - 999 followed by five alphanumeric
characters. The five characters can be a combination of upper- or lower-case
letters from A to Z, numerals, and an underscore “_”. There can be no space in
the folder name. Also, folder names cannot have the same three-digit number
such as “100ABC_D” and “100W_XYZ” even if the letters are different.

3File Numbering Methods
The file number is like the frame number on a roll of film. The captured
images are assigned a sequential file number from 0001 to 9999 and
saved in one folder. You can change how the file number is assigned.
The file number will appear on a computer in this format:
IMG_0001.JPG.

numbering continues in sequenco 9999. This is convenient when
you want to save the imags numbered anywhere between 0001 to
9999 in multiple cards or folders into one folder in your personal
computer.
If the replacement card or existing folder already contains images
recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images might
continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card or
folder. If you want to use continuous file numbering, you should use a
newly-formatted card each time.

To reset the file numbering to 0001 or to start from file number
0001 in a new folder.
When you reset the file numbering manually, a new folder is created
automatically and the file numbering of images saved to that folder starts
from 0001. This is convenient when you want to use different folders for
the images taken yesterday and the ones taken today, for example. After
the manual reset, the file numbering returns to continuous or auto reset.
If the file number in folder No. 999 reaches 9999, shooting will not be
possible even if the card still has storage capacity. The LCD monitor will
display a message to replace the card. Replace with a new card.
For both JPEG and RAW images, the file name will start with “IMG_”. Movie
file names will start with “MVI_”. The extension will be “.JPG” for JPEG
images, “.CR2” for RAW images, and “.MOV” for movies.

3Setting the Color SpaceN
The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this
camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or
Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended.
In the fully-automatic modes (1/C), sRGB is set automatically.
Select [Color space].
1
Under the [2] tab, select [Color
space], then press <0>.
Set the desired color space.
2
Select [sRGB] or [Adobe RGB], then
press <0>.
About Adobe RGB
This color space is mainly used fommercial printing and other
industrial uses. This setting is nt recommended if you do not know
about image processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File
System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). The image will look very subdued in the sRGB
personal computer environment and with printers not compatible with
Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). Post-processing of
the image with software will therefore be required.
If the image is captured with the color space set to Adobe RGB, the file
name will start with “_MG_” (first character is an underscore).
The ICC profile is not appended. The ICC profile is explained in the
Software Instruction Manual in the CD-ROM.

AF Area Selection Modes
The AF areas are explained starting with the smallest one.
C.Fn III -6
(1) Spot AF (Manual selection)
Although this is the same as single-point AF, the
selected AF point <O> covers a smaller pinpoint
area to focus. Effective for pinpoint focusing
overlapping subjects such as an animal in a cage.
Since Spot AF covers a very small area, focusing
might be difficult during hand-held shooting or for a
moving subject.
(2) Single-point AF (Manual selection)
Select one AF point <S> to be used to focus.
C.Fn III -6
(3) AF point expanion (Manual selection)
The manually-selected AF point <S> and adjacent AF points <w> are
used to focus. Effective when it is difficult to track a moving subject with
just one AF point.
With AI Servo AF, the manually-selected AF point <S> must focus-
track the subject first. However, it is easier to focus the target subject
than with Zone AF.
With One-Shot AF, when focus is achieved with the expanded AF point,
the expanded AF point <S> will also be displayed along with the
manually-selected AF point <S>.

89
AF Area Selection Modes
(4) Zone AF (Manual selection of zone)
The 19 AF points are divided into five zones for focusing. All the AF
points in the selected zone are used for the automatic selection of the
AF point. It makes achieving focus easier than with single-point AF or
AF point expansion and it is effective for moving subjects. However,
since it is inclined to focus the nearest subject, focusing a specific target
is harder than with single-point AF or AF point expansion.
With One-Shot AF, the AF point <S> which achieved focus will be
displayed.
(5) 19-point AF auto selection
All the AF points are used to focutomatically set in fully-automatic
modes (1/C).
With One-Shot AF, pressing the shutter button
halfway will display the AF point(s) <S> which
achieved focus. If multiple AF points are displayed,
it means they all have achieved focus. This mode
tends to focus the nearest subject.
With AI Servo AF, the manually-selected (p.88) AF
point <S> is used first to achieve focus. This
cannot be set in fully-automatic modes (1/C).
With 19-point AF and Zone AF, the active AF point will keep switching to
track the subject in AI Servo AF mode. However, under certain shooting
conditions (such as when the subject is small), it might not be able to track
the subject. Also, in low temperatures, the tracking response is slower.

for vertical and horizontal shooting (p.214).
If [8C.Fn III -10: Focus display in AI SERVO/MF] is set to [Disable],
the active AF points <S> during AI Servo AF will not be displayed.
AF-Assist Beam with the Built-in Flash
Under low-light conditions, when you press the shutter button halfway,
the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes. It illuminates the subject to
enable easier autofocusing.
The built-in flash’s AF-assist beam is effetive up to about 4 meters/13.1

With lenses whose maximum aperture is larger than f/2.8*
With the center AF point, high-precision, cross-type AF sensitive to both
vertical and horizontal lines is possible. The center AF point’s sensitivity
to vertical and horizontal lines is about twice as sensitive as the other
AF points.
The remaining 18 AF points will work as cross-type points with lenses

When Autofocus Fails
Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (the focus confirmation light <o>
blinks) with certain subjects such as the following:
Subjects difficult to focus
Very low-contrast subjects
(Example: Blue sky, solid-color walls, etc.)
Subjects in very low light
Extremely backlit or reflective subjects
(Example: Car with a highly reflective body, etc.)
Near and far subjects covered by an AF point
(Example: Animal in a cage, etc.)
Repetitive patterns
(Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards, etc.)
In such cases, do one of the following:
(1) With One-Shot AF, focus an object at the same distance as the
subject and lock the focus before rmposng (p.52).
(2) Set the lens focus mode switco <F> and focus manually.

The <k> 2-sec. self-timer enables you to shoot while not touching the
camera mounted on a tripod. This prevents camera shake while you
shoot still lifes or bulb exposures.
After taking self-timer shots, you should check the image for proper focus
and exposure (p.162).
If you will not look through the viewfinder when you press the shutter
button, attach the eyepiece cover (p.108). If stray light enters the
viewfinder when the picture is taken, it may throw off the exposure.
When using the self-timer to shoot only yourself, use focus lock (p.52) for
an object at about the same distance as where you will be.
To cancel the self-timer after it starts, press the <o> button.

Mirror LockupN
Although using the self-timer or Remote Switch can prevent camera
shake, using mirror lockup to prevent camera vibrations (mirror shock)
can also help when you use a super telephoto lens or shoot close ups.
When [8C.Fn III -13: Mirror lockup] is set to [1: Enable] (p.215),
shooting with mirror lockup will be possible.
1 Focus the subject, press the shutter button completely
and let go of it.

X The picture is taken and the mirror goes back down.
In very bright light such as at the h or ki slope on a sunny day, take
the picture promptly after mirror lop.
Do not point the camera the sun. The sun’s heat can scorch and
damage the shuttecurtain
If you use bulb expsures, the self-timer, and mirror lockup in
combination, keep pressing the shutter button completely (self-timer
delay time + bulb exposure time). If you let go of the shutter button
during the self-timer countdown, there will be a shutter-release sound.
However, this is not the actual shutter release (no picture is taken).
When [1: Enable] is set, single shooting will take effect even if the drive
mode is set to continuous.
When the self-timer is set to <Q> or <k>, the picture will be taken
after 10 sec. or 2 sec. respectively.
The mirror locks up, and after 30 seconds, it will go back down
automatically. Pressing the shutter button completely again locks up the
mirror again.
For mirror lockup shots, using the Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer
Remote Controller TC-80N3 (both sold separately) is recommended.
You can also lockup the mirror and shoot with a remote controller (sold
separately, p.110). With Remote Controller RC-1, setting it to a 2-sec.

3Setting the FlashN
To prevent the flash from overheating and degrading, avoid firing the MULTI
flash more than 10 consecutive times. If you fire the flash 10 times, allow the
flash to rest for at least 10 min. before firing the flash again. Some EX-series
Speedlites will automatically stop firing after 10 times to protect the flash. If
this happens, let the flash rest for at least 15 min.
Shutter sync.
Normally, set this to [1st curtain] so that the flash fires immediately
after the exposure starts.
If [2nd curtain] is set, the flash will fire right before the exposure
ends. When this is combined with a slow sync speed, you can create
a trail of light such as from car headlights at night. With 2nd curtain
sync, two flashes will be fired, once when you press the shutter
button completely, and once immediatey before the exposure ends.
However, with shutter speeds faster tha1/30 sec., the 1st curtain
sync will automatically take effe
If an external Speedlite is aheyou can also set [Hi-speed]. For
details, see the Speedlite’uction manual.
Flash exposure compensation
See “y Flash Exposure Compensation” on page 113.
E-TTL II
For normal flash exposures, set it to [Evaluative].
If [Average] is set, the flash exposure will be averaged for the entire
metered scene as with an external metering flash. Since flash
exposure compensation may be necessary depending on the scene,
this setting is for advanced users.

External Speedlites
EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlites
Basically operates like a built-in flash for easy operation.
When an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) is attached to the
camera, almost all the autoflash control is done by the camera. In other
words, it is like a high-output flash attached externally in place of the
built-in flash.
For detailed instructions, see the EX-series Speedlite’s instruction
manual. This camera is a Type-A camera that can use all the features
of EX-series Speedlites.
Shoe-mount Speedlites
Macro Lites
With an EX-series peedlite not compatible with flash function settings
(p.115), only [Flash exp. comp] and [E-TTL II] can be set for [External
flash func. setting].
(Certain EX-series Speedlites also enable [Shutter sync.] to be set.)
If the flash metering mode is set to TTL autoflash with the Speedlite’s
Custom Function, the flash will fire at full output only.
Canon Speedlites other than the EX-series
With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set in TTL or A-TTL
autoflash mode, the flash can be fired at full output only.
Set the camera’s shooting mode to <a> (manual exposure) or
<f> (aperture-priority AE) and adjust the aperture setting before
shooting.
When using a Speedlite which has manual flash mode, shoot in the
manual flash mode.

Using Non-Canon Flash Units
Sync Speed
The camera can synchronize with non-Canon compact flash units at 1/
250 sec. and slower speeds. With large studio flash units, since the
flash duration is longer than compact flash units, set the sync speed
within 1/60 sec. to 1/30 sec. Be sure to test the flash synchronization
before shooting.
PC Terminal
The camera’s PC terminal can be
used with flash units having a sync
cord. The PC terminal is threaded to
prevent inadvertent disconnection.
The cameras PC terminal has no
polariYou can connect any sync
cord ardless of its polarity.
Cautions for Live View shoo
If you use a non-Canon flah with Live View shooting, set [z Silent
shoot.] to [Disable] (p.137). The flash will not fire if it is set to [Mode 1]
or [Mode 2].
If the camera is used with a flash unit or flash accessory dedicated to
another camera brand, the camera may not operate properly and
malfunction may result.
Do not connect to the camera’s PC terminal any flash unit requiring 250
V or more.
Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit on the camera’s hot shoe. It might
not fire.
A flash unit attached to the camera’s hot shoe and a flash unit connected to
the PC terminal can both be used at the same time.

Notes About the Live View Image
Under low or bright light conditions, the Live View image might not reflect
the brightness of the captured image.
If the light source within the image changes, the screen might flicker. If
this happens, stop and resume the Live View shooting under the actual
light source to be used.
If you point the camera in a different direction, it might throw off the Live
View image’s correct brightness momentarily. Wait until the brightness
level stabilizes before shooting.
If there is a very bright light source in the picture, such as the sun, the
bright area might appear black on the LCD monitor. However, the actual
captured image will correctly show the bright area.
In low light, if you set the [6LCD brightness] to a bright setting,
chrominance noise may appear in the Live View image. However, the
chrominance noise will not be recorded in the captured image.
When you magnify the image, the image shapness may look more
pronounced than it really is.
About the <E> icon
If Live View shooting is used irect sunlight or in other hot
environments, the <Eicon (wng for the camera’s high internal
temperature) may apper on he screen. If Live View shooting continues
with a high internal temperature, it may degrade image quality. You
should therefore stop Live View shooting if the warning icon appears.
If Live View shooting continues while the <E> warning icon is displayed
and the camera’s internal temperature increases, the Live View shooting
will stop automatically. Live View shooting will be disabled until the
camera’s internal temperature decreases.

146
Notes About the Shooting Results
When you shoot continuously with the Live View function for a long
period, the camera’s internal temperature may increase and it can
degrade image quality. Terminate Live View shooting when not shooting
images.
Before taking a long exposure, stop Live View shooting temporarily and
wait several minutes before shooting. This is to prevent image
degradation.
Live View shooting in high temperatures and at high ISO speeds may
cause noise or irregular colors.
When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (horizontal banding, dots of
light, etc.) may appear.
If you take the picture during magnified view, the exposure might not
come out as desired. Return to the normal view before taking the picture.
During the magnified view, the shutter speed and aperture will be
displayed in red. Even if you take the ictre during magnified view, the
image will be captured in the norview.
Custom Function Notes
During Live View shootingn Custom Function settings will be
disabled (p.205).
If the [2Auto Lighing ptimizer] (p.75) menu is set to anything other
than [Disable], the image may look bright even if a decreased exposure
compensation or flash exposure compensation has been set.
Notes About Lenses and Flash
The focus preset feature on super telephoto lenses cannot be used.
FE lock is not possible when the built-in flash or an external Speedlite is
used. Modeling flash and test flash will not fire (except for wireless flash
shooting) if an external Speedlite is used.

Notes on Movie Shooting
Recording and Image Quality
If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer, the Image Stabilizer will
operate at all times even if you do not press the shutter button halfway.
The Image Stabilizer may cause the total movie shooting time or the
number of possible shots to decrease. If you use a tripod or if the Image
Stabilizer is not necessary, you should set the IS switch to <2>.
The camera’s built-in microphone will also pick up camera operation
noise. If you use a commercially-available external microphone, you can
prevent (or reduce) these noises from being recorded.
Do not connect the external microphone IN terminal to anything other
than an external microphone.
Autofocusing during movie shooting is not recommended since it might
momentarily throw the focus way off or change the exposure. Even if the
AF mode has been set to [Quick mode], it wl switch to the Live mode
during movie shooting.
If movie shooting is not possible due e insfficient remaining
capacity of the card, the moviotiremaining time (p.152) will be
displayed in red.
If you use a card havina slow ng speed, a five-level
indicator might appear n the right of the screen during
movie shooting. It indicates how much data has not yet been
written to the card (remaining capacity of the internal buffer
memory). The slower the card, the faster the indicator will
climb upward. If the indicator becomes full, movie shooting
Indicator
will stop automatically.
If the card has a fast writing speed, the indicator will either
not appear or the level (if displayed) will hardly go upward.
First, shoot a few test movies to see if the card can write fast enough.
If you take still photos during the movie shooting, the movie shooting
might stop. If the still image recording quality has been set low, the movie
shooting might continue instead.
When movie shooting is set, certain Custom Function settings will be

Notes on Movie Shooting
Camera’s internal temperature increase and image degradation
If you continue to shoot movies for a prolonged period, the camera’s
internal temperature will increase. This can degrade the image quality.
While not shooting, turn off the power.
If you shoot under direct sunlight or high-temperature conditions, the
<E> icon (high internal temperature warning) may appear on the
screen. If you keep shooting a movie with the warning icon displayed, the
image quality might degrade. You should turn off the power and allow the
camera to rest for a while.
If the <E> icon is displayed and you keep shooting movies until the
camera’s internal temperature increases further, the movie shooting will
stop automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again
until the camera’s internal temperature decreases. Turn off the power
and let the camera rest for a while.
Playback and TV connection
If the brightness changes during e shoting, that part might freeze
momentarily.
If the camera is connected V set with an HDMI cable (p.177),
pressing the <Bbutton during movie shooting will not display the
INFO screen.
If you connect the camera to a TV set (p.176-177) and shoot a movie,
the TV will not output any sound during the shooting. However, the
sound will be properly recorded.

Sample Histograms
This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of
the image’s brightness level. The horizontal axis
indicates the brightness level (darker on the left
and brighter on the right), while the vertical axis
indicates how many pixels exist for each
brightness level. The more pixels there are
toward the left, the darker the image. And the
more pixels there are toward the right, the
brighter the image. If there are too y piels
on the left, the shadow detail will be t. And if
there are too many pixels on htthe

[RGB] Display
This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of each primary
color’s brightness level in the image (RGB or red, green, and blue).
The horizontal axis indicates the color’s brightness level (darker on
the left and brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates how
many pixels exist for each color brightness level. The more pixels
there are toward the left, the darker and less prominent the color. And
the more pixels there are toward the right, the brighter and denser the
color. If there are too many pixels on the left, the respective color
information will be lacking. And if there are too many pixels on the
right, the color will be too saturated with no detail. By checking the
image’s RGB histogram, you can see the color’s saturation and
gradation condition and white balance inclination.

C.Fn III -3 AI Servo AF tracking method
In the AI Servo AF mode while you are focus-tracking a subject, the camera
can either continue focusing the target subject even if a closer subject
(closer than at the main focus point) suddenly appears in the picture, or the
camera can switch to focus the closer subject.
*
Main focus point: With 19-point AF auto selection and AF point expansion, this is the
first AF point which started the focusing. With Zone AF, this is the
active AF point.
0: Main focus point priority
The active AF point will switch to the main focus point and start focusing
the closer subject. Convenient when you always want to focus the
closest subject.
1: Continuous AF track priority
Any closer subject appearing in the picture will be ignored as an
obstruction. The main focus point does not take priority, so the tracking
of the target subject can continue and switch to an adjacent AF point
based on the preceding focusing result. Convenient when obstacles
such as telephone poles go in front of the target subject.

Troubleshooting Guide
If a problem occurs, first refer to this Troubleshooting Guide. If this
Troubleshooting Guide does not resolve the problem, contact your
dealer or nearest Canon Service Center.
Power-Related Problems
The battery pack does not recharge.
If the battery’s remaining capacity (p.230) is 94% or higher, the battery
will not be recharged.
Do not recharge any battery pack other than genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E6.
The charger’s lamp blinks at high speed.
If there is a problem with the battery charger or battery pack or if
communication with the battery pack (noCanon battery packs) is not
possible, the protective circuit wiminatthe charging and the orange
lamp will blink quickly at a ar terval. If there is a problem with the
battery charger or battery nplug the charger’s power plug from the
power outlet. Detacand reattach the battery pack to the charger. Wait 2
to 3 minutes, then reconnect the power plug to the power outlet. If the
problem persists, contact your dealer or nearest Canon Service Center.
The charger’s lamp does not blink.
If the internal temperature of the battery pack attached to the charger is
high, the charger will not charge the battery for safety reasons (lamp
off). During the charging, if the battery’s temperature becomes high for
any reason, the charging will stop automatically (lamp blinks). When the
battery temperature goes down, the charging will resume automatically.
The camera does not operate even when the power switch is set to <
1>.
The battery is not properly installed in the camera (p.26).
Recharge the battery (p.24).
Make sure the battery compartment cover is closed (p.26).
Make sure the card slot cover is closed (p.29).

243
Troubleshooting Guide
The access lamp still blinks even when the power switch is set to <
2>.
If the power is cut off while an image is being recorded to the card, the
access lamp will still continue to light/blink for a few seconds. When
the image recording is completed, the power will turn off automatically.
The battery becomes exhausted quickly.
Use a fully-charged battery (p.24).
The battery performance might have degraded. See the [7Battery
info.] menu to check the battery’s performance level (p.230). If the
battery performance is poor, replace the battery pack with a new one.
If you keep displaying the Quick Control screen (p.38) or shooting Live
View shooting or movie shooting (p.131, 149) for a prolonged period,
the number of possible shots will decrease
The camera turns off by itself.
Auto power off is in effect. If not want auto power off to take
effect, set [5Auto pwer offOff].
Shooting-Related Problems
No images can be shot or recorded.
The card is not properly inserted (p.29).
If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to
make room (p.29, 179).
If you try to focus in One-Shot AF mode while the focus confirmation
light <o> in the viewfinder blinks, a picture cannot be taken. Press the
shutter button halfway again to focus, or focus manually (p.35, 92).
The viewfinder is dark.
Install a recharged battery pack in the camera (p.26).
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
244
Troubleshooting Guide
The image is out of focus.
Set the lens focus mode switch to <AF> (p.31).
To prevent camera shake, hold the camera still and press the shutter
button gently (p.34, 35).
If the lens has an Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to <1>.
The card cannot be used.
If a card error message is displayed, see page 30 or 249.
The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower.
Set [8C.Fn II -2: High ISO speed noise reduction] to one of the
following settings: [Standard/Low/Disable]. If it is set to [Strong], the
maximum burst during continuous shoong will decrease (p.208).
If you shoot a subject which hadetal (field of grass, etc.), the file
size will be larger and the ual aximum burst will be lower than the
number mentioned on pa
ISO 100 cannot be set.
If [8C.Fn II -3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable], ISO 100
cannot be set. If [Disable] is set, ISO 100 can be set (p.209).
When I use the <
f> mode with flash, the shutter speed becomes slow.
If you shoot at night when the background is dark, the shutter speed
becomes slow automatically (slow-sync shooting) so that both the
subject and background are properly exposed. If you do not want a
slow shutter speed to be set, set [8C.Fn I -7: Flash sync. speed in
Av mode] to 1 or 2 (p.207).

245
Troubleshooting Guide
The built-in flash does not fire.
If you shoot continuously with the built-in flash at short intervals, the
flash might stop operating to protect the flash unit.
The external flash does not fire.
Make sure the external flash (or PC sync cord) is securely attached to
the camera.
If you use a non-Canon flash with Live View shooting, set the [z
Silent shoot.] menu to [Disable] (p.137).
The camera makes a noise when it is shaken.
The built-in flash’s pop-up mechanism moves slightly. This is normal.
The shutter makes two shooting sounuring Live View shooting.
If you use flash, the shutter wake wo sounds each time you shoot
(p.133).
Live View shooting is not possible.
For Live View shooting, use a memory card (a hard disk-type card is
not recommended). A hard disk-type card requires a lower
temperature range for operation than normal memory cards. If the
temperature gets too high, the Live View shooting may stop
temporarily to prevent damage to the card’s hard disk. When the
camera’s internal temperature decreases, you can resume Live View
shooting (p.146).
The camera button/dial’s function has changed.
Check the setting with [8C.Fn IV -1: Custom Controls] (p.215).

246
Troubleshooting Guide
The movie shooting terminates by itself.
If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie shooting may stop
automatically. Use a card with a read/write speed of at least 8 MB per
sec. To find out the card’s read/write speed, see the card
manufacturer’s Web site.
If the movie file size reaches 4 GB or if the movie recording time
reaches 29 min. 59 sec., movie shooting will stop automatically.
When the movie is played, camera operation noise can be heard.
If you operate the camera’s dial or lens during movie shooting, the
respective operation noise will also be recorded. Use an external
microphone (commercially available) (p.158).
Display & Operation Proble
In the viewfinder, the AF pdisplay speed is slow.
In low temperatures, the display speed of the AF points may become
slower due to the AF point display device’s (liquid crystal)
characteristics. The display speed will return to normal at room
temperature.
The LCD monitor does not display a clear image.
If the LCD monitor is dirty, use a soft cloth to clean it.
In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow
or might look black. It will return to normal at room temperature.
The menu screen shows few tabs and options.
In fully-automatic modes (1/C), some tabs and options are not
displayed. Set the shooting mode to d/s/f/a/F (p.40).

Troubleshooting Guide
Part of the image blinks in black.
The [4Highlight alert] menu option is set to [Enable] (p.163).
A red box is displayed on the image.
The [4AF point disp.] menu option is set to [Enable] (p.163).
The file name’s first character is an underscore (“_MG_”).
Set the color space to sRGB. If Adobe RGB is set, the first character
will be an underscore (p.82).
The file numbering does not start from 0001.
If you use a card which already has imagerecorded, the file
numbering might start from the last image the card (p.80).
The shooting date and time plaed is incorrect.
The correct date and tme haeen set (p.42).
No image appears on the TV screen.
Make sure the AV cable or HDMI cable’s plug is connected all the way
in (p.176, 177).
Set the video OUT format (NTSC/PAL) to the same video format as
the TV (p.240).
Use the AV cable that came with the camera (p.176).
Printing-Related Problems
There are fewer printing effects than listed in the instruction manual.
What the screen displays may differ depending on the printer. This
instruction manual lists all the printing effects available (p.194).
